Church Walk Out over Priest's "Jewish and Non-Practising" Jibe at Slatter

A number of mass-goers walked out of Saturday mass at the Black Abbey, Kilkenny City, after Fr. Eddie Conway called Alan Shatter, Minister for Justice, a "Jewish, non-practicing, atheist".

Conway said, according to someone who walked out, that the "scandal was a bad thing, but there was a bigger agenda, set by people who have a vested interest against the Church, including Shatter. He said that the child abuse scandal was bad, but there was a lot more going on.

Other local Dominicans rushed to disassociate themselves.

Does Conway fear a Jewish-Communist-Atheist Plot led by Shatter ??

There was a time when the church in Ireland was able to kick politicians into line, and get a good old anti-commie pogrom going. Is that over for good ?

A non -practicing Jewish atheist, hmm? They're the worst kind. At least you'd have some time for the non -practicing Catholic atheists

This breakdown of serene discipline across the church is absolutely brilliant. As an anticlerical atheist and proud of it I'd just like to thank that Dominican for our unexpected night off and also for the fulsome entertainment. If some kind nun could arrange a bowl of popcorn I'd be made up.

Think National. Act Local. Oh- and superstition is just the dark matter of human history.

Alas, the mass persecution of the Immaculate spouse of Christ is beginning.... The perfidious, satanic Jews who think that they can get away with anything will have much horror to face on that Dreadful Day.. They will not be able to hide from Almighty God any longer.

Quote above from a trad-cath forum! The burning question on that forum isn't, unsurprisingly, the protection of children - it's the 'soul' of the abuser!

What if an abuser couldn't confess his sin because of a law [breaking seal of confession] like this? Would God forgive him for it without confession?

Whatever you do don't tell this one that Babby Jaysus would have been jewish fairly obviously, Andrew. It is likely to cause a faith backdraft resulting in a pietyexplode.
